Lookout Road Improvement Project Contract Awarded to Pasilico Civil Inc. for $9.9 Million
The council approved awarding a construction contract for the Lookout Road pedestrian, on-street bike lane, and vehicular lane improvements. The contract was awarded to Pasilico Civil Inc. of Austin, Texas, for a base price of $8,997,648, not to exceed $9,897,412, which includes a 10% construction contingency. The project is funded by federal grants from the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (AMPO).

The project will improve the area from Evans Road to the Tomaquap Parkway, including the hospital area. A portion near Ratama Parkway and Lookout Road will be completely shut down for the installation of a pedestrian bridge, but the rest of the road will remain usable with limited access, likely half at a time.
